Usually some one cleans me up. :-) Even with discussion, my stuff is
not 100%.

I did code to extend the number of index columns >8, but broke the
system in several ways. Tom Lane fixed it for me. I think I even
committed it with a broken initdb, but figured out how to disable it
while Tom and I worked on it.

Yes, but even my feature additions have problems. :-)
